Braving the elements for CST

The first-ever Creative.Sport.Tourism Expo was not for the faint-hearted – particularly for those who took their displays outdoors and faced Windhoek’s cold and blustery conditions. Yet the Outside Exhibitors rose to the occasion, adding an impressive dimension to this extraordinary three-day celebration of Namibia’s creative, sporting and tourism potential.

Zebra Trailers brought its latest agricultural range to the fore, alongside the traditional, trusted trailers for which the company is known (https://q.my.na/7T9O).

Pupkewitz Motors put mobility on display with an impressive selection of Toyota products, complemented by the latest BYD electric Double Cab and sedan, as well as Haval and GWM offerings (https://q.my.na/DN43).

Safari Engineering demonstrated just how far the modern off-road vehicle can be taken, showcasing a formidable array of accessories, gadgets and performance-enhancing equipment. A highlight was its locally converted Toyota Quantum 4x4. Safari Engineering is Namibia’s distributor and installer of the EnduroCo conversion, turning the popular van into a genuine off-road vehicle (https://q.my.na/8JVD).

M&Z Motors arrived with an automotive showcase of its own, representing 11 brands: Mercedes-Benz, Mahindra, Kia, Hyundai, Mitsubishi, Renault, Chery, LDV, JAC, Peugeot and Ineos. Particularly noteworthy was Mercedes-Benz – a franchise M&Z has represented for 90 years, as Africa’s first and oldest franchisee (https://q.my.na/O6A4).

And then there was CFMoto, bringing the fun factor with dune buggies, four-wheelers and street bikes (https://q.my.na/6KZN).

Intercape presented its routes and services in Namibia as well as those leading from- or to neighboring countries (https://q.my.na/EXHY).

To every Outside Exhibitor who braved the wind and cold to be part of CST 2026: Thank you for helping make the inaugural Expo something truly special.
